Yorkshire Veterinary Hospital, originally founded in 1979, is one of the oldest animal hospitals in Colorado Springs. In 2011, the hospital relocated to a new, state-of-the-art facility.
"Our new facility allows us to continue our hospital's proud tradition of providing the highest quality care possible to our pets," said Dr. Corrina Hamann. "We now offer an in-house laboratory for immediate test results, which allows prompt diagnosis of potential health problems. We also have laser surgery equipment and advanced veterinary technology."

The hospital also provides emergency and urgent care, spay and neuter operations, and nutritional counseling.

"We are proud to be recognized by AAHA for achieving their strict standards of pet care," said Dr. Scott Hamann.
